Cervical Cancer: a unique opportunity to work towards equity
Listen now
Description
Cervical cancer is one of the most highly preventable and curable forms of cancer. And yet it remains the leading cause of cancer deaths in women in over 40 countries.
What are the causes of inequity? Why do so many women lack access to life-saving services due to where they live or other socioeconomic factors? How we overcome these barriers? What role can innovation and technology play?
Dr Chemtai Mungo, Assistant Professor of obstetrics and gynecology at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and UICC Young Leader, explains the challenges and progress in cervical cancer care and looks at how technological innovation, effective national cancer control plans, and other advances and strategies can help close the gap in cancer care.
